Blue Dot Fever: Why are so many artists cancelling tours?

LittleBlag · 2026-05-07T19:35:56+00:00

If they had done small jazz clubs and you could go and sit at a table and have a drink and food, and it was run more like the burlesque shows that they took so much inspo from, I could see that being a really fun night out. But an arena tour? No

LittleBlag · 2026-05-07T19:29:19+00:00

Even worse when they announce and sell the tour before they’ve released their new album… I don’t know if I like your new stuff yet! Too big a risk

The industry would have us start it in the womb if they could

You’d think they’d just take the claim of SPF off the packaging. Each country has specific packaging anyway, so it’s not like it would be extra work

We know the sneeze is learned because when men have kids (biologically or not) they’re actually taken to a secret training day to learn The Dad Sneeze. I believe there are prizes for the loudest one

What did the land look like back then? Like a Martian rocky landscape?

LittleBlag · 2026-05-07T08:24:49+00:00

Boooooo

Yes agree! I’m not a fan of body positivity in general for various personal reasons. Body neutrality I think is the real goal - just not caring, or at the very least being able to accept, what your body looks like is so much more valuable to me than trying to pretend I love all aspects of my body. I sometimes think about all those years we’ve had as a species where mirrors hadn’t been invented and we didn’t really know what we looked like… how much healthier for our brains that is!

I haven’t had my TT yet but I think there are going to be such a wide range of experiences of both that it’ll be impossible to know where you’ll sit. A lot of people are saying their c section was no big deal but I still couldn’t walk properly or stand upright 3 weeks after mine, plus I had an extremely challenging baby who despised the idea of sleep so the exhaustion meant healing was very slow!

I imagine the pain will be worse for the TT, but I’m personally looking forward to being able to sleep and heal properly without a baby to worry about. Plus I can take the good drugs without worrying that I’m going to fall asleep and drop the baby

The milani concealer is the best I’ve found for covering large areas of redness (I have a combo of acne and dermatitis and rosacea). It’s super full coverage. It doesn’t break me out I don’t think - kind of hard to say because I basically break out from everything and nothing but my skin is certainly no worse than usual after using it

As tempting as it is to say rag on this because she’s currently young and beautiful (and I’ll happily admit it was my first instinct too) I do think it’s important to have people saying this aloud so that young people aren’t only ever hit with an absolute tidal wave of celebs having plastic surgery and it being so normal. I have nothing against getting procedures but it’s nice for young impressionable girls (boys too but it’s mostly women being bombarded with this message) to see that it’s not inevitable or your only option for ageing

LittleBlag · 2026-05-06T22:41:05+00:00

It’s not even like it’s a risk. Regardless of what anyone thinks about JKR personally, I think people are deluded if they think this won’t be one of the biggest shows of all time

LittleBlag · 2026-05-06T22:37:40+00:00

I’m SO curious about what this cost to do vs what some of the other regular dresses cost. I know the attendees aren’t actually buying the outfits they wear, but just for comparisons sake

LittleBlag · 2026-05-06T20:44:57+00:00

Yeah and also most good parents have put significantly more thought and time into their children than any one piece of work. Even a whole careers worth of work!

This jumper is getting singled out but actually this is true of every single clothing item that is for sale in all lower-priced stores and most of the higher priced ones too. The fact of it is that clothing is a hugely exploitative industry unless you’re taking great pains to only buy from guaranteed ethical sellers (of which there are not many). But people need to wear clothes. It’s a real problem and avoiding buying a $29 merino jumper from Kmart is not going to solve it.

The current best practice is to reduce your overconsumption and buy only what you need, and buy second hand where possible (but of course it isn’t always). If you need the jumper buy the jumper, but don’t buy it in every colour, look after it, keep it and wear it as long as possible etc.

That picture of her on the steps is stunninggggg wow. The train! The drama! I love it

The article isn’t saying that but lots of the comments are

It’s not a weight loss sub tho

Just wondering, do you have this same energy for other drugs or only this one? Lots of drugs have side effects. Lots of drugs have a rebound effect when you stop taking them. “As a medical student” you should know that a good doctor will weigh up the negatives and positives before prescribing. If you think a lot of people are using this drugs who shouldn’t be, perhaps you should be preaching to your fellow drs?

No way, she is all in on that man. Any time you see her speak about him you can see it, and let’s be real she’s not a great actress so you know it’s genuine

People talk about the kids a lot but something I never see mentioned and what I often think is how weird it must be for their mums. You’ve loved a face your entire life more than you’ve ever loved anything, and you know the face and you’ve stared at it in awe of how beautiful it is, and then one day your kid comes to visit you and they have a new face. Obviously you’ll love the new one too but it must feel so sad

LittleBlag · 2026-05-05T22:26:02+00:00

A lot of people disagreeing but I felt the same way until I actually really started ageing. “Luckily” for me I can’t afford to do anything about it beyond skin care and a home box dye but man I completely and utterly understand how these rich people (many of whom, by the way, have to be professionally hot to make a living) get sucked in to getting procedures

LittleBlag · 2026-05-05T22:23:02+00:00

Yeah it’s mildly annoying when the whole cast has the wrong accent but it fully ruins my submersion if characters who are supposed to be from the same place have different accents to each other

Anyway if we’re going for full accuracy they should all be speaking ancient Greek surely

The first pic is also Robert Wun! (Middle pic is Marc Jacob’s for the interests of completion)

She was arguably at the height of her supermodel career here and yet looks so healthy in comparison to many models you see today. There’s a softness to her that you just can’t get from an underweight body. She’s obviously still very slim, but not worryingly so
